Tomoko Uchida commented on SOLR-13412:
--------------------------------------
[~epugh] :
{quote}I think that the real issue here is that most of our users don't know
that Luke exists, and that its a powerful tool. What if we kept Luke as a
standalone artifact, and instead talked about Luke in the Solr Ref Guide? We
mention the Luke request handler on
[https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_6/implicit-requesthandlers.html], that
could also link to a page with more details on Luke and where to download it
from? Which reminds me we should add the word Luke to the Ref Guide glossary
page!

{quote}I just poked around the lucene.apache.org site, and there is no mention
of Luke anywhere...

Thank you for specifically pointing that. Indeed documentation and/or user
guide is the most powerful promotion tool, then Luke lacks any of them.
Although Luke is a GUI tool that describes itself, it's not great for new
users. I'm partly responsible for that - I once created an issue
[https://github.com/DmitryKey/luke/issues/116] and have abandoned it. I always
thought we should have "getting started" documentation for Luke in our web site
so that we can provide the links for it from Solr Ref Guide or everywhere else.
If you have any ideas, please feel free to share it and open an issue if needed
:)

> Now that [~Tomoko Uchida] has put in a great effort to bring Luke into the
> project, I think it would be good to be able to access it from a Solr distro.
> I want to go to the right place under the Solr install directory and start
> Luke up to examine the local indexes.
> This ticket is explicitly _not_ about accessing it from the admin UI, Luke is
> a stand-alone app that must be invoked on the node that has a Lucene index on
> the local filesystem
> We need to
> * have it included in Solr when running "ant package".
> * add some bits to the ref guide on how to invoke
> ** Where to invoke it from
> ** mention anything that has to be installed.
> ** any other "gotchas" someone just installing Solr should be aware of.
> * Ant should not be necessary.
> * ????
>
> I'll assign this to myself to keep track of, but would not be offended in the
> least if someone with more knowledge of "ant package" and the like wanted to
> take it over ;)
> If we can do it at all....
